A Love Triangle: Rucas or Chiley?
Riley Matthew's is the girl next door. Everything about her was perfect. Well to Lucas and Charlie she was the perfect girl. She had beautiful brown eyes, long brown hair. She was awkward, clumsy and loyal. She was the best person to turn to when things got hard. She was the best person in general. She had amazing friends and a family that loved her dearly. Lucas and Charlie were head over heels in love with her. Lucas met Riley first, when she fell onto his lap on the subway. He was her first kiss and date. But then Charlie moved to town and he took Riley took the semi-formal. Which caused Lucas to get jealous so he asked her best friend Maya to go with him. Now they are seniors in high school and they were still at war for Riley's heart. Will Riley go for Lucas, the star athlete, the first guy she ever liked or will she go for someone different like Charlie? Prom was coming up and that means another battle between Lucas and Charlie, who do you think she will say yes to?
Riley's POV:
I was walking down the halls with my best friend, Maya Hart. She has been by my side since kindergarten. We were walking to our lockers and when we got there, I saw Lucas waiting for us. "Ranger Rick!" Maya greeted. "Clutter Bucket" he greeted back. Then he looked at me, his face lit up and his cheeks turned bright red. "Hey Riley." He said with a soft smile. "Hey there," I said. We stood there and gazed at each other. "Riley! Let's go!" Maya said as she quickly pulled me away. Lucas watched us as we left. "Okay, what was that?" she asked me. "What was what?" I said. "You and Ranger Rick are still into each other. Why don't you guys go out already?" Maya asked. She had a point. We've had a crush on each other since the 7th grade. He was my first date, my first kiss but he never became my first boyfriend. I knew he wanted to ask me to the semi-formal back in middle school but someone else had already asked me and I couldn't have just said no.
Charlie's POV:
I was walking down the halls when all of a sudden I saw Lucas and Riley gazing at each other. I hid behind my locker so that they wouldn't see me stare. All of a sudden Maya dragged Riley away and Lucas stood there staring at them. I didn't want Lucas to take Riley, we have been having this on and off feud over her since the eighth grade. You'd think we would have moved on by now. But there is no way anyone can move on from someone like Riley, she was the most amazing human being person on this planet. As soon as she left, I made my move. I walked over to Lucas and smacked him in the back of the head. "What the- oh it's you. What do you want?" he snarled. "I want Riley and I know prom is coming up, it's not going to be a surprise when she chooses me over you again." I said with confidence. "And what makes you think she's going with you?" he asked. "Because I'm actually going to ask her, now that I think about it. You didn't even ask her to semi-formal. You just thought about it and then got jealous when she said yes to me. So this is going to be a piece of cake." I said. "Hate to break it to you, but Riley still has feelings for me and were seniors now, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. So you better watch your back." Lucas said as he walked away.
Lucas POV:
Charlie really knew how to make me angry. I needed to release this anger inside of me. But then I saw Riley and all my anger had disappeared. Just by looking at her instantly made me feel better. I didn't realize I was staring at her until Farkle yelled my name. I jumped. "Aww I see you still have a thing for Riley," he teased. It was afterschool and I was walking to my car when I saw Riley and walked over to her. "Hey, Riles what're you up to?" I asked. I hope I didn't sound too nervous. She looked so adorable standing there holding onto her books. "Oh I was waiting for Charlie, I wanted to see if he could give me a ride home since Maya left early for a doctor's appointment." Hearing his name made me want to punch a wall but I had to hide my jealousy from anger. Why did she want to be in same car as Charlie? Yuck. "Well, I don't want you waiting out here alone. I could give you a ride myself." I offered. "Oh, I don't know." She said. "Come on, I insist." I said as I held out my arm. She look down at her phone and linked her arm with mine. "Alright." She said as we walked to my car together. We saw Charlie and he gave me the dirtiest look ever and I smiled back at him. Looks like I won this round.
So I decided to end the chapter here, but as the story goes on you will see how far the two boys go to win Riley's heart. There is also a funny fight between them. You also don't want to miss the big ways they ask her to prom. Prom will lead to a relationship and Riley is absolutely clueless about how these guys feel until she realizes she has to choose which guy she wants to be with. Tell me who do you think she should choose? Should she go for Lucas, her Romeo or should she try something different and go for Charlie? But as the year goes on there's a sudden death that affects Riley, hard. Which guy is going to go out of his way to be there for her? That will definitely help her decide who she should be with.
